Skull and Bones

[julius27]

Has anyone out there played Skull and Bones published by green ronin? I've been trying to run a campaign that gradually lost members to real life issues over time and I now only have two players. Only one of those players is an active participant, and because of the scope of the setting, that has made the game rather boring. I'm looking for other players in my area, but no one else seems to even have heard of it. Am I the only one that bought this book?

I have it, ran one three part adventure for it, and plan to do more with it. I like it quite a bit.

It is perhaps a bit more antiheroic than heroic, and I combined it with D20 Call of Cthulhu quite a bit. Magic tends to be either weak or dangerous, and monsters are rare and terrible. Even a lesser zombi is something for beginning characters to run from.

One thing you can do is tie the adventure to the ship rather than the characters in the crew, making sure there is a written record of the happenings in game, so when you pick up the game following a hiatus you can assume that the time has passed in both the game and in the real world.

Next time I run it I intend to use World Works Games The Maiden of the High Seas as the center of the campaign.

I ran a very successful eight-episode game with Skull & Bones, d20 Modern and d20 Call of Cthulhu.

There's a Story Hour right here.
